Mayor Bloomberg and his Unconstitutional Camera Law, according to wearechange.org
"First interaction between We Are Change, who are members of the independent press, and billionaire New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, who is trying to pass a fascist and unconstitutional Camera ban in NYC."
NYT: City Hall Broke Rules Funneling Money to Groups
After The New York Times reported that the Bloomberg administration had violated city contracting rules by directing substantial amounts of taxpayer funds (possibly in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, according to The Times ) to two politically connected groups, Comptroller William C. Thompson Jr. and Public Advocate Betsy Gotbaum asked the mayor on Thursday for all documents relating to his office’s use of discretionary funds to finance nonprofit groups.
In a blog post by Ray Rivera, the The Times reported that, "...the mayor’s office has said that there is little paperwork supporting the review and that it relied on interviews with staff members to reconstruct the financing. When The Times asked this week for a copy of the audit, a spokesman for the mayor said the report was really little more than a, 'spreadsheet that detailed what was funded and by whom.' "
Mayor Michael Bloomberg will spy on 2004 G.O.P. convention protesters and secretly audio-tape his political rival's campaign events, but neither he nor his office has any substantial record of City Hall's own audit of the slush fund scandal ?
If there's nothing to hide, then why suppress where the money went ?
I encourage everybody to follow the courageous and inspiring vlog postings by Suzannah B. Troy, who doesn't let us forget about the misuse of discretionary funds by City Hall and the New York City Council.
